By Cummins I take it that it was taken from a Dodge pickup?
That was the first thing I thought of when I read the original posting.
There must be some other suitable six cylinder diesels out there?
The engine Dodge uses was an existing design when they first started offering it.
I wonder if it's still a Cummins really or has it now been tweaked enough you have to go to Dodge for parts and service?
Also since most of us deal in older trucks it strikes me that maybe an old 3/4 or 1 ton from the 50's and early 60' doesn't weigh enough to handle that engine.
Maybe you need to go into an actual truck.
A 2 or 3 ton maybe?
This idea (Cummins in old truck)wanders around in my head but I've never really thought to actually do this.
Having owned a 2001 and 2003 Chevy pickup/car I think they've smacked me with the 2x4 and it's finally occured to me that I'd rather spend my money on old truck!
So I've been thinking about what to buy next and let GM fend for themselves. A 64 Chevy panel would be a good fit with the stuff in garage.
